Hardware Upgrades

Installing Additional Memory

The computer comes with Double Data Rate-Synchronous Dynamic

Random Access Memory (DDR-SDRAM) Dual Inline Memory

Modules (DIMMs).

DIMMs

The memory sockets on the system board can be populated with

industry-standard DIMMs. These memory module slots are populated

with at least one preinstalled memory module. To achieve the

maximum memory support, you may be required to replace the

preinstalled DIMM with a higher capacity DIMM.

The HP Compaq d228 and d230 Microtower system boards can be

populated with up to 2GB of memory and support single-channel

mode. The HP Compaq d248 Microtower system board can be

populated with up to 4GB of memory and supports single-channel or

dual-channel mode.

✎

For more information about single-channel or dual-channel memory

modes, see the section “Single Channel and Dual Channel Modes” on

page 8.

DDR-SDRAM DIMMs

For proper system operation, if the computer supports DDR-SDRAM

DIMMs, the DIMMs must be:

■ industry-standard 184-pin

■ unbuffered PC2100 266 MHz-, PC2700 333 MHz-, or PC3200

400 MHz-compliant

✎

Only the HP Compaq d248 Microtower supports PC3200 400

MHz-compliant DIMMS.

■ 2.5 volt DDR-SDRAM DIMMs.

The DDR-SDRAM DIMMs must also:

■ support CAS latency 2, 2.5, or 3 (CL = 2, CL = 2.5, or CL = 3)

1–8 Hardware Reference Guide

Hardware Upgrades

■ contain the mandatory JEDEC SPD information

In addition, the computer supports:

■ 128Mbit, 256Mbit, and 512Mbit non-ECC memory technologies

■ single-sided and double-sided DIMMS

■ DIMMs constructed with x8 and x16 DDR devices; DIMMs

constructed with x4 SDRAM are not supported

Maximum operating speed is determined by a combination of the

CPU and type of memory used. Refer to the table below for the

optimum combination.

✎

The system will not start if you install unsupported DIMMs.

Single Channel and Dual Channel Modes

HP Compaq d228 and d230 Microtower models operate in single

channel mode. HP Compaq d248 Microtower models will

automatically operate in single channel mode or a higher-performing

dual channel mode, depending on how the DIMMs are installed.

■ In single channel mode, the maximum operational speed is

determined by the slowest DIMM in the system. For example, if

the system is populated with a DIMM that is 266 MHz and a

second DIMM that is 333 MHz, the system will run at the slower

of the two speeds.

■ In dual channel mode (d248 models only), all DIMMs must be

identically matched. DIMMs in the J23 and J24 sockets must be

identical; DIMMs in the J25 and J28 sockets must also be

identical. Therefore, if you have one preinstalled DIMM in socket

J23 and are adding a second DIMM, it is recommended that you

install an identical DIMM into the J25 socket. If you are

populating all four DIMM sockets, use identical DIMMs in each

socket. Otherwise, the system will not operate in dual channel

mode.

There are two DIMM sockets on the HP Compaq d228 and d230

Microtower system board, operating in single-channel mode.

There are four DIMM sockets on the HP Compaq d248 Microtower

system board, operating in either single- or dual-channel mode, with

two sockets per channel. The sockets are labeled J23, J24, J25, and

J28. Sockets J23 and J24 operate in memory channel A. Sockets J25

and J28 operate in memory channel B.

Installing Memory Modules

CAUTION: The memory module sockets have gold metal contacts. When

upgrading the memory, it is important to use memory modules with gold

metal contacts to prevent corrosion and/or oxidation resulting from having

incompatible metals in contact with each other.

CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of

the computer or optional cards. Before beginning these procedures,

ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a

grounded metal object. Refer to Chapter 5 for more information.

CAUTION: When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch

any of the contacts. Doing so may damage the module.

1. Turn off the computer properly through the operating system and

turn off any external devices.
